When President Obama announced in June that he was going to send aides
around the country to locate promising nonprofit groups, many
charities wondered where they would go and how to invite them to
visit.

Melody Barnes, director of the White House Domestic Policy Council,
has given some clues in a blog item that describes her visit to the
Iowa affiliate of Everybody Wins!, a group offering literacy and
mentor programs for elementary schoolchildren from low-income
families.

Ms. Barnes invites people to tell the White House about other
effective organizations by writing to communitysolutions@who.eop.gov.
